SAVIC FINALLY SPEAKS OUT

After months of speculation regarding his future, Serb Sergej Milinkovic Savic finally spoke out in response to the talk linking him to the likes of Manchester United. Savic said, “Am trying to remain concentrated, even though every day I read something new about me. Obviously, I feel pressure on me and know that I’ll have to live with this situation throughout the World Cup. It’s the same pressure as when I play for Lazio, so I am accustomed to it. ‘I will decide where to continue my career after the World Cup.”

UNITED CONFIRM RELEASE OF PLAYERS

Manchester United via the Premier League website confirmed the release of eight players once their contracts run out. There was a surprise on the first name on the list as the retired Michael Carrick joins Mourinho’s backroom staff. The rest of the players are names from the Academy. The name that caught the eye of most United fans is Marouane Fellaini. This, however, doesn’t mean that the Belgian is sure to depart at the end of his contract. Ibrahimovic was on this list last season but was resigned later.
